Boring tech works

I’ve used raw CSS for the last 2 years at work and it’s not like it’s magically better or my productivity is higher or that it is simpler to read and understand.

Use the tool that works for you, tailwind is fine.

Oracle can fuck off

is there confirmation on this? given how much Pirat has been caught lying is rather hear it from someone else.

You can really get away with anything if people get horny looking at you

3.5mm is by far the better option for literally every reason headphones are designed for

the only argument is when exercising, some people prefer to use wireless for the kinda of workouts they do

Ive always hated phones without the 3.5mm and won’t stop even if all phone manufacturers remove it

Not what I was saying, also do you really believe migrants don’t have culture clashes when they move to other countries?

Gay: Software Dev

TL;DR: Smart sibling ahead of the curve told me in 2011 that tech jobs will be the future and naturally I didn’t listen, fast forward to 2016 and my contract job laid me off so I started learning Python (as advised by smart sibling)

I start making all sorts of stupid stuff mostly CLI programs, beginner alg problems. beginner alg console games and so on.

Suddenly I realize I probably know enough to make something real, start slowing learning new things and always think “hmm a real software dev probably does x” and then try x.

Went from CLI stuff to web APIs, then full stack websites, then platform specific gui programs, then learning C++.

And at some point it clicked that this stuff is a lot easier than I thought (I had literally no concept of what programming was before)

I apply for an associates in tech program, just before starting I decide to use Linux to get more familiar with dev technology.

I picked Arch Linux btw, had some issues btw, overcame issues btw and then I landed a job during school as a dev and I kept using Linux as dev.

So it was mostly about getting to understand dev landscape more

I use CachyOS on my desktop (I game), and Arch Linux on laptop (by far the best laptop user experience with tiling wm)

I’d say CachyOS there is a learning curve but if you know these windows terms: registry, batch, sfc /scannow … then you already have enough technological know how to get started with rolling release.

My advice for gaming on Linux is to have a seperate hard drive where you store things you care about (including games) so you are able to wipe everything in case something goes wrong.

EE is absolutely fascinating for applications of calculus in general.

I didn’t give a shit about calculus and then EE just kept blowing my mind.

This wasn’t a thing in Canada until COVID, we’ve also have a huge wave of immigration and a lot of immigrants think it’s chill to pretend you own public space.

To me, it’s the biggest indicator you are a conceited asshole.

that’s an interesting keyboard key map

I feel like that’s within the scope of what a library is meant for, community support.

I too have no media literacy

I’m on x11 so I guess I’ll have to find out tonight if it works or not

as of when ? using what method of using discord, browser or the electron app? ? under x11 or Wayland?

I know there’s dozen ways to screen share but I mostly care about discord and discord screen sharing doesn’t work on Linux, curiously enough if you get obs to create a virtual camera of whatever you want to stream it will stream it flawlessly. Use the default way of streaming anything and it craps out

I bet you were a pretty big wheel down at the ice cream factory
